I had the same problem with a Gateway E-1400 machine. But it
wasn't just with version 7.0. 6.1 did the same thing. The way I got around
it was select "Expert Mode" all the way through the setup program. There is
a screen that says something to the effect "Other Questions" and there is a
line that specifies the amount of RAM detected and then has a field to let
you specify the correct amount if you need to. Make sure, however, that you
don't just put a number it must be "192 MB" Make sure that "MB" is in caps
and that there is a space between the number and "MB."
There must be a problem with LM detecting certain types of
RAM. But that solved my problem.

Subject: [newbie] LILO prob
Hi folks,
I have install MDK7.0 using linux4win and
everything works just perfect. My
box has 192mb of memory, but mdk only tells
me that I have 64mb. I went
into /etc/lilo.conf (which I made as there
was no file) and edited it with
--> append="mem192m" But it did not, still
shows that I have 64mb.
I tried get the LILO: promt working when I
turn the box on, but I cant get
that working for some reason. When I turn it
on, I get the W98 booter,
choose either 1:windoz or 2:Linux.
Anyway to get this working properly? I tried
ti install MDK as directed my
Linuxanswers mag, but could not. I got this
error, and would only do the
drakx thing.
Would it be best for me to start again, but
this time make the boot floopy
and see if that works ok? or what
Cheers
Kev
